Law and Psychology

Drexel University offers a fully integrated, interdisciplinary JD/PhD program in Law and Psychology—awarding graduates both a Juris Doctor (JD) from the Thomas R. Kline School of Law and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences.

This unique program is designed for students who want to work at the intersection of law, psychology, and public policy. Unlike many dual-degree offerings at other institutions, Drexel’s program is intentionally structured to provide a cohesive educational experience, with coordinated advising, integrated coursework, and cross-disciplinary research opportunities.

Students gain the legal expertise and clinical training needed to pursue impactful careers in forensic psychology, legal advocacy, mental health policy, academia, and beyond.

At Drexel, you won’t have to choose between law and psychology—you’ll master both, and graduate with two powerful degrees that open doors across disciplines.

This program is not currently admitting new students for the 2026-2027 academic year.
